Vira is less than an hour's drive from Perpignan: This charming and totally self contained gite is part of 'La Grange', a lovingly converted stone sheep bar in the foothills of the Pyrenees. It is situated in the Pyrenean village of Vira, one of the most picturesque villages in the area and offers lovely views over the surrounding valleys and forests. Forty miles west of Perpignan, Vira is totally unspoilt and is on the edge of the Foret de Boucheville. The small village has a plan d'eau and barbecue area, a delightful church and a marie, where the local mayor and staff are happy to provide all the information visitors require about the many delights of the area.

In early spring and summer the almond and cherry blossom, wild flowers, herbs, butterflies and bird life are a never-to-be-forgotten experience.
The area enjoys some of the driest and warmest weather in France with blue skies most of the year round. Summer temperatures of around 30 degrees are common with the cool mountain breeze at night being a welcome benefit.

The Mediterranean sea and long sandy beaches are only 40 miles away and the sea temperatures are warm enough to swim well into October.

Perpignan the very Catalan capital of the region, is an hour's drive and the beautiful medieval walled city of Carcassonne 1 hour and 20 minutes.
